Jerce Reyes Barrios, a Venezuelan soccer player seeking asylum in the U.S., is unjustly accused of gang affiliations by the Department of Homeland Security. His attorney, Linette Tobin, asserts that Barrios has no criminal record and is being wrongfully imprisoned based on a tattoo reflecting his soccer career rather than any gang symbolism. Barrios, who protested against the Maduro regime, has already faced detention and torture in Venezuela, and he is set to have a court hearing regarding his asylum application soon.
"The Department of Homeland Security has accused Barrios of having a gang-affiliated tattoo and claimed a photo of him showed him displaying gang signs."
"Tobin also said she submitted records from Venezuela that indicated Barrios had no criminal record in his home country and was employed as a professional soccer player and children's soccer coach."
